Today, I finally figured out why my 5 year-old daughter washes her hair every day. It's because she doesn't want to have "yucky greasy hair like her mommy." FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Same thing different taste
Today, I walked in on my daughter trying to blow-dry the sweat off her armpits instead of showering. FML
Late bloomer
Today, my daughter continues to have acne breakouts. She’s no longer a teenager, which means she isn’t washing her face. I can’t believe I raised someone who ignores her hygiene to this point. FML
Smash the patriarchy
Today, I explained to my teenage daughter that enough was enough and she needed to start shaving her armpits again, stating it was unladylike and unsanitary. Her only response was, "If it's so unsanitary, why don't you make my brother do it?" I give up. FML
Today, I found out that my mom uses my incredibly expensive conditioner to wash her two dogs every single weekend. No wonder they smell so good. FML
One simple trick
Today, I realized I've been using conditioner instead of shampoo for the last month. I was wondering why my hair never felt clean but always smelled great. Now I have to explain to my friends that my new "shampoo routine" was actually just expensive conditioner and ignorance. FML
Tumbleweed
Today, my mom was proud for making a positive change in her life. The change in question? She now throws away the smelly hair she combs out of the dog, instead of keeping it for unspecified later use. FML
Today, for the first time ever, I was able to have a good hair day without blow drying it or using product. Or so I thought. The first words my mom spoke to me when I came downstairs were “Go fix your hair.” FML
Curlywurly
Today, I got up extra early to curl my hair because I wanted to look nice at school for a change. After coming downstairs my mom yells at me and says, "See, when you don't wake up on time your hair looks like that. You could have at least combed it!" FML
Today, I found out the crappy shampoo I've been borrowing from my girlfriend is actually "feminine wash." FML
Gross
Today, my step-dad explained to me why he doesn't need to wash his body. He condescendingly said, "Well when you shampoo your hair, the soap runs down your body and cleans everything." He's 37 years-old. FML

yeah i agree with plexico. honestly, i don't see how this is an FML. maybe the fact that your 5 year old daughter knows more about hygiene than you? idk. how about you just do us all a favor and wash your hair. it won't hurt, i promise.

#58 and #61 maybe that girl doesn't know what really "yucky greasy" hair is like so she assumes that even slightly greasy or yucky hair is too dirty at least she's being taught to wash her hair even if she is extremely young to do it every day

@47 - I'm so glad I'm not the only one who totally thought that at first. XD

allmidnighteyes, You're right. I guess it is some kind of dubious honor. You've been doing some funny stuff here, so I'll bet they're coming to get you next, buddy. ;) If I were you, I'd nail down an account under "a11midnighteyes" to prevent your impostor from taking that one.

some races can't wash their hair everyday, otherwise it breaks off. just a thought.

#88 Thank You! I was about to say that. I'm black and I can only wash my hair once a week. I don't use all those chemicals in my hair though. So I have to rely on the natural oils in my hair, because I don't use hair grease and oil sheen.

I understand that ethnic hair is different, but if she doesn't have ethnic hair (which she most likely doesn't if it's noticibly greasy) that's just disgusting. I NEVER skip a day washing my hair. That's so gross! Who thinks oily-plastered-to-the-side-of-your-face-hair is socially acceptable? Does she not brush her teeth either? Its basic hygeine!

it's actually bad for your hair to wash if everyday in reality you should never wash it with shampoo because it strips it of moisture, and your hair gets greasy to overcompensate if you never used shampoo in the first place, and just washed it with water, you'd never need to use shampoo and you'd save a load of money...

#155 There's this new invention called conditioner that fixes that problem. So, ya know, you can wash your hair properly, with shampoo, and not just water.

The more often you wash your hair the more oil your hair will produce. That's why most people should only wash their hair 2-3 times a week. ( unless of course if you have abnormally oily hair)

Actually washing your hair and skin everyday usually dries it out. Then you need more products- lotion, conditioner, oils, etc

Some races (like myself) can't wash their hair everyday or else it starts to break and become dry.

I wash my hair everyday because I have a sensitive scalp and it gets really itchy if I don't wash it every day.

you're supposed to wash it every day anyways
allmidnighteyes 11
Washing it every day is actually bad, since it strips your hair of its natural oils and can damage it like that. Every other day or every two days is usually what you do if you have naturally oily hair anyways. I'm backing OperationNicole's post (#11) all the way as well

I don't think it's a white person thing, I'm fairly white and I never thought of washing my hair every day, and often shower without washing my hair. The only time I did it, was when we were on vacation and went swimming or into the (very, very salty) sea.

Go 12, go go go. My hair looks perfectly fine every two days. ACTUALLY, I discovered (unfortunately) that I can go five days before my hair gets greasy. Of course, there's more to cleanliness than your hair being clean.... so hopefully no more lack of shower for almost a week for me. That was just not pleasant. I hate stupid twats who think it's some great and ultimate sin if you don't wash your hair (or shower) EVERY DAY OF YOUR LIFE (or MORE... I once had someone tell me that every person should shower twice a day... what). I did a great poll across three sites to take a look at actually what is the most common (it was actually a series of hygienic polls). The results were that every other day was the most common, THEN once every other day, then every three days... .... I remember someone actually voted "less than that" (in response to the "once a week" option). Euugh lol.

i have to wash my hair everyday or else it gets grossly greasy and i start to break out. i use hello hydration so it never really ends up dry

if you wash your hair everyday and then you skip a day your hair will get really dirty very quickly but if you wash it every 2-3 days your hair will not get dirty so easily . i dont wash my hair everyday because its really long but it looks even better the 2nd day.

Agreed!

I've never understood the whole "let's-not-wash-our-hair-for-weeks-at-a-time-because-it's-better-for-it!!!!" thing. I'd really rather my hair be clean, soft, and good-smelling then have it greasy and "non-stripped of minerals".
hellocello600 0
I agree. If you have normal to oily hair, you need to wash it everyday to look clean. If you're not going anywhere one day, you can skip it to give your hair a break, but it will still look greasy.

Weeks at a time? Please. One to two days is hardly considered a week. Leave your hyperboles at home.

Okay to all those who are saying it is disgusting not to wash your hair everyday, and that your goes greesy if you don't, well that is your own fault, If you had not washed it everyday for many years, then you now would not need to, the more you wash your hair the faster it will be come greesy in the future, If you want your hair to stay young and healthy for years to come, i suggest you stop washing it everyday. In fact i suggest you try and wash it no more than twice a week for a month or two, and you will notice your hair will be getting greesy much more slowly. (please feel free to ignore this advice, is just a little info for those who actually want it, and i am not suggesting that you shouldn't wash more than that btw)

You know, I think I would be more inclined to take advice about grease from someone who actually knew how to SPELL the word "grease"...
sadistmonkey 19
right because spelling has everything to do with washing hair *rolls eyes*
palmtrees 1
No, but generally if someone is claiming to be knowledgeable about a subject, I would at least expect them to have enough familiarity with that subject to know how to spell the word.
krissi3 0
people type fast, if I'm posting something while I'm on the bus or walking or getting corrected by auto text some stuff isn't spelt correctly... does not mean your less literate or knowledgeable then the rest of them. while I'm here , natural oils are good for your hair if I was my hair everyday I end up with dry brittle hair doesn't mean I'm dirtier then anyone I still bathe, but yes if your hair is greasy wash it more often with hot water dries the hell out of if.
